our music is a secret order. but we are not rich powerful men in suits planning how to get even richer. nor are we dressing in capes performing occult or religious sermonize. we are no elite trying to separate ourselves from others. no, we are ordinary down to earth people. what unites us is that we live and breathe music. it is our passion and our drive. and it has been like that since we discovered that music must be an expression of the human soul. or as jason fine puts it: in my opinion, making deep music is not possible without a strong internal connection between the user and their feelings. ultimately the end product is a reflection of what the user was feeling while making the piece. i think its important to listen to your creative flow and respect it -- i dont try to make music when im not feeling it, because guaranteed the result will be bad. it all boils down to what im feeling at that particular moment in time when i create a piece. with these words we welcome you to the first full length album release on the kontra-musik imprint - our music is a secret order (louis armstrong, 1954). producer is greatly talented newcomer jason fine, who released his debut ep on omar-s fxhe label last year..

its house but not as we know it! young david, aka dave young, chose his artist name as a reminder of what it said on his office door before he took some time out in the summer of 2006. swapping the office for what an estate agent might describe as a cosy basement studio in stockholm, he now sits around making beats all day the fuji ep is musical adventure. bridging the gap between soulful and minimal and blending crunchy mid-tempo party beats with intoxicating two-tone, jazz and dub flavours. equally at home on the dance floor, ipod or lounge stereo, the tracks have a sense of space and depth and, above all, a real musicality which comes not (only) from the pushing of a few buttons, but from a lifelong quest

somewhere between techno, experimental and detroit

pre-release copies - somewhere between electro, rock and minimal

nice 4 tracker!! tracks between grime and techno

!!!!!!strictly limited to 500 copies!!!!!! together with stefan goldmanns debut cd the transitory state, macro releases a strictly limited box set containing five 7? records holding the electroacoustic album voices of the dead. with his releases for innervisions, perlon and macro stefan goldmann has been a key figure at the cutting edge of post minimal techno and the renewal of house music. this album is a distinctively different affair though, reaching far beyond the scope of dancefloor electronics. starting a trilogy of concept albums, stefan goldmann searches for the common root of all music in an electroacoustic setting. from this album turret is already renowned as the intro sequence of richie hawtins groundbreaking de9 transitions mix compilation and was also commissioned by the biblioteque nationale de france for the imeb phonoteque public collection. the artist explains: at first sight we recognise upfront elements like a melody or rhythmic pattern, which we associate with a certain piece or style of music, but there is tension between two notes, hard-to-define background information that at a closer look is found everywhere - within the music of coltrane and stravinsky, death metal and 9th century byzantine chants. if there is anything like a total, secret common ground, than its this information lurking in the background. these are the voices of the dead, the heritage of an endless line of ancestors brought forward through the centuries. i tried to make these elements audible as clearly as possible. really like this weird space ambient one. ive put katorga and izo already into my final scratch computer and have been playing them! (richie hawtin on voices of the dead) record release event at berghain / panorama bar berlin on september 4th, 2008, feat. ricardo villalobos, mika vainio (pan sonic) and ulrich schnauss (tbc).

this is the first >vinyl extraction< of the rüts compilation which is a joint venture between ampoule records and meakusma. this compilation gives an overview of the diversity of a/v artists, presented on different events and releases by both organisations over the years

short after the latest (develish) dapayk single mos ferry fields the dutch guy henk van zwol aka olene kadar again. his label debut >vakbekwaam< (mfp035) is still fresh and we do remember him playing his liveset on some of the spring-time mos ferry labelnights where he was soaked in sweat during his performance. all this established a solid relation between amsterdam and berlin, which is about to be expanded. the new release >paying billl< presents two new olene kadar masters. on the a-side theres >sarg wualb< taking the subject of >i-modulate-that-siren-until-everybody-gets-up-from-his-seat< to the next level. on the flip side called >betrokken< the young man proves that a track with extensive usage of edgy >frickelsound< elements doesnt have to end in a top-heavy electronica-piece, but can be directed to the floor, very straight forward and impulsive techno. these two tracks show once more what henk van zwol demands from his body and his consciousnes when playing live

side a brings the original sound of chicago acid sharply back into focus, subtly reusing the elements that made those records so special whilst bringing the sound up to date with modern production techniques and banging drums whilst maintaining the wigged out alien sounds of the time- for fans of everyone from todd n tadd to eddie fowlkes to sleep archive. the flip side brings a truly amazing track from rei loci again- playing with all manner of spaced out fx laden elements, and underpinned by the subtle interplay between machines- dreamlike, deep, intense and epic in all the right sense of those words this track sees rei moving into a more mature and complete phase in his production

these two swedes make their debut on adult records but are certainly no new names to the hardgroove techno scene. in between them they have releases under their belt on labels such as hz trax, relatives, sway, mankind and many more! for this 18th release on the infamous adult records label pratap presents two solo tracks and two tracks together with his mate petter b. expect some relentless funkin hardgroove techno, as youve come to expect from this quality label!

something between spooky-italo and horror-disco ! hell ! john carpenter, the goblins.. david carretta at its best 80s feeling !

mixture between of groovy cosmic disco and psyche electro stuff !!

side a of the 4th record from monotone leidenschaft provides furore. the producer newbee ash cawlin proofs once more his potential with this track. with wondrous slight devices and a very long breath he is able to design a timeless minimal techno sound, which reminds a little on g-man. with the track leda he provides a genuine hit potential more than the presence as a dj-tool. jack else aka subtronic produced a really succeeded and modern track, which matches perfectly between functionality, friskiness and brightness as well as between techno and minimal sound. the blowing groove is always multi-layered and a little capricious. in spite of that it radiates a defeating naturalness, which is slowly burning into the brain. the new track provides the typical heavy, pushing beats, which let you step on the same position. along with it there are endless traces of crackling and rustling

strong limited different colored vinyl. only 500 copies! support from solomun, fabrice lig, aruba, pawas, seva k, laurent garnier, subsky, estroe, da funk, art bleek, of norway, cuetec and many more. on night drive music, pianist, songwriter and producer danya vodovoz presents a very nice mixup between techhouse and deephouse. his sense for arrangement and sound made him produce seven sampling cds for ueberschall, including the highly successful rhodesattacks, easy listening and brazil electro. signing to peppermint jam in 2001, he released four 12 inches and co-produced 3 tracks on mousse t.s first album gourmet de funk

played by c-rock, d julz, gregor tresher, 2000 and one, minilogue and many more… like no other german producer, hannover-born martin buttrich has been decisively influencing the sound aesthetics of electronic dance music since the middle of the nineties. having been more in the background for most of the time while working for and with timo maas and loco dice among others, his benchmark releases for carl craigs label planet e or poker flat have also spotlighted his original name in the public. buttrichs second ep for cocoon couldnt prove better his prediction that in 2008, minimal techno will be containing more warm and melodic components. strangely familiar but always surprising, again and i lost my wallet provide us with bassprone reduction somewhere in between techno and house, and harmony bits that remind of caribbean calypso sounds provide the feeling of the approaching summer which makes both tracks perfect for the final of the open air season 2008. at least, buttrich will be an integral part of the season closing between ibiza main river and spree.

over the past few years john tejada has been splitting his time working with long time collaborator arian leviste and more recent collaborator justin maxwell. why not combine all 3? palette all-stars is just that. a collaboration between the 3 main palette artists, each (tejada, leviste and maxwell) playing a particular role in each song. from the ep opener, >after school special< you get a sense of the trio each working on a particular element. tejada’s driving drums, maxwell’s modular synth work, and leviste’s bassline elements sculpt a driving track with a classic feel. >the pilot< features leviste’s smooth melodic synth work while maxwell processes through the modular and tejada privides the dubby beats. the ep finisher >downtown hotel< features a mad maxwell modular freakout and driving 808 s

excellent techhouse! heavy support by someone else, afrilounge, benno blome, sian, mijk van dijk... dani casarano & felipe valenzuela (connaisseur rec.) from chile and fabio gianelli (material rec.) show their kind of style between deep techhouse and rhythmetic techno!! 10 anos is an amazing timeless electro-house tune - extremely rhythmic and funky - flip over for the phenomenal deep tech house tune esperanza - sonorous subbass, melodic horns and some metal echo chambers - all continuously driven forward by a powerful stomping bassline - massive

hot on the heels of the fantastic guy j ‘geko’ bedrock keep up the pressure with a storming release from techno maestro christian smith. this techno tinged 2 tracker, will delight both house and techno heads alike as christian brings his trademark sound of days gone by, back up to date with fantastic results. with its beautiful pads rising over a hypnotic bassline and chunky percussion, ‘flyer talk’ is a driving melodic builder guaranteed to have the floor on fire. on the flipside we have ‘friendly skies’ which takes on a similar vibe with more of a hook. the big funky bassline is going to make it tough to choose between which one to play! – my advice: play them both!

four varied tracks on this limited (100 copies) white label from glasgow. all artists are anonymous but we can tell you the four here have between them released music on djax up beats, 7th sign, deta (claude youngs label), mowar and sula muse (paul macs label

the name of the midwestern state of the united states ohio is derived from the seneca word ohi:yo, meaning beautiful river. khoibas music is also like a river, with a beautiful melancholy, with many crooks, rapids with deep and shallow water, with riber beds of sand and stone. ohio is a bitterweet song about a love crisis. about the good and the bad things of relationship. the hightrope walk between all or nothing. the desire of a new start, with the fear, that noting realy will changed.

the chaps at off-key hq have been busy digging out the old dat tapes from their attic and sorting out the wheat from the chaff. for this release they go way back to bring you four more tracks courtesy of kimble, a collaboration between matt o brien and matt gates (aka minor planets). kicking things off is the beatless sketch of >lycius<, spiky alien synths flicker and pierce through detached ethereal pads moving in the surrounding weightless space. next up is the ep s lynchpin track, >state of shock<. proper techno is the order of the day here, this is an authentic old school minimal track first recorded in 1996 but left gathering dust ever since. immerse yourself in the subtle dub inflected melodies swirling in your womb bubble while the slamming rhythm track provides the heartbeat. over on the flip we chill things out with the haunting strings and aquatic bassline of >amb<, providing a delicate counterpoint to the upfront style of the a side. the ep is completed with a stunning remix of >state of shock< by minor planets, who layer on a towering bassline and transform the original into a laid back dub workout.

a seriously heavyweight plate from twisted, a member of germanys acclaimed dutty dubz crew. erratic is a grimey monster of a tune, the subtleties of the intro with its pattering bongos and stealthy pads giving no indication of the carnage to come. dropping harder than a ton of bricks, the filthy buzzsaw bass comes swooping in beneath slamming halfstep beats, squirming between the enormous bashy snares and sinister electro riff topline. on the flipside twisted goes a little more leftfield, tapping into the chiptune flavour thats currently permeating the dubstep scene via the likes of rustie and zomby.

mri first came to prominence in 2000 with the release of the ground breaking rhythmogenesis on forcetracks and his acclaimed mille plateaux productions. due to the massive reaction drawn from the contribution on the latest 12, take kare not acid, mri returns back to the resopal imprint with two new tracks to redesign the past and further the future. title track bateau is a banging builder that is reminiscent of the current house flavored tracks but resonates the touch of classiness and depth of mid 90s reduced techno arrangements. decayed bassdrum, pad, chords and a break - distinctly marked with modern hyper percussive tendencies, based in between house and techno soundscapes this a-side is a pure bomb. the flipside ivre by all means reaching the dancefloors of today. cascading rhythms build subtly behind the fuelled drive of bass, and druggy vocals fully defined by mris signature formula. all in all, bateau ivre tunes up in fresh formula towards techy driven reduced microhouse, bring through a soothing and completely refreshing 12that will be sure to please old and new fans alike. ltd. stock

mixture between hard groove, hard techno and gabba.. incl rave influences

would you have remembered? with the debut album of the 32-year-old warszawian, téchnè, cocoon recordings has released the first artist album ever on the label six years ago, at that from an artist who was not well-known to a large extent back then. this has changed fundamentally: with his releases on his own label recognition as well as on trapez or klang elektronik, sienkiewicz belongs to those ambassadors of modern individual electronic dance music who set benchmarks. this is also his demand with the two tracks on “my little place”, meanwhile his fourth release for cocoon recordings. while the over-heated my little place re-interprets the credo of dub with polyrhythmic elements, delays and echo in an somehow unfamiliar way, “com-bat” carries on sienkiewicz tradition of putting hypnotic sound evocations close to the ten-minute mark. with intensive melancholy, the percussive bass rotor of com-bat creates a bewitched hymn for sunrises somewhere in between the urban desperation of detroit, the atmosphere of after hours and balearic bliss

great mixture between hard techno, hardgroove and gabba..
